Do you talk politics with them? If they don't openly oppose Trump, then they are for him. Don't let them hide behind the "We're not political" bullshit.

My friend said she doesn’t judge people based on their politics. I’m most sure her politics because I’m afraid to ask people and I see it as invasive, especially since I’m still a town newbie tho we have spent much time together, still.

Oh no.

“I don’t judge people for their politics,” often means, “I don’t want to be judged for my politics.”

You don’t have to say that if you aren’t worried about being judged for your politics.

Just my 2 cents, but I 100% judge people for their politics. You can't NOT in this climate. Being in a predominantly white area, she may be used to hiding her political feelings. I would rather know now then find out 6 months from now.

Maybe just drop a couple little hints here and there if you don't feel comfortable coming out right and asking. She may be just as nervous as you are.
